Highlight a block of text (Ctrl+Shift+Arrow)

Status: Declined

Moved to CAR database: CAR 540989

Hi guys,

I'm still missing block highlighting of the text in LabVIEW. Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to select text by blocks not letter by letter as it works now for free labels, object labels (including sub diagram labels) and captions, text in all LV dialogs and string inputs?

 

Common key combo is CTRL+SHIFT with any of the arrow keys

How it works in LV?

...and in the rest of the world:

I have some news on this...
The good one is that LabVIEW does supports block highlights but only if you don't change your "Regional and Language" settings to Czech. Therefore I'm going to report a CAR for this bug.
Sorry for posting it as a LV idea but I really haven't tested it out with various regional settings before.

okubik, can you post the CAR ID? I'll close the idea and reference the appropriate CAR once you've done so.
